The Negotiator (1998)

Question: I think Nathan is played by Paul Guilfoyle, however, after checking and double-checking I can't see Nathan on the end credits. Am I right, and does anybody know why he wasn't credited?

Answer: According to IMDB.com, Paul Guilfoyle did play Nathan, though he wasn't credited for the role.

Any specific reason as to why Paul Guilfoyle was not credited in the Negotiator movie?

There are many reasons that an actor won't be credited for his/her role in a film. They may not have been happy with their performance, or maybe thought the finished film wasn't all that good, or they thought their part in the film might have overshadowed more deserving performers - the list goes on and on. Jack Nicholson was not credited for his role in "Broadcast News", even though he had a prominent and important role, and nobody seems to know why. Go figure.
